Ashley: Admit Weekend 2010

Recently, Stanford hosted over 1,200 students for its annual Admit Weekend. This weekend is a collection of events Stanford has in hopes of inspiring students to commit and choose Stanford as their home for the next four years. This year, I was proud to be a room host and a volunteer for various activities my dorm had for the admitted students!

Walking almost a mile and half to the alumni center to pick up admitted students, my dorm mates and I anticipated the arrival of several possible freshmen for Stanford's Class of 2014. Admit Weekend had finally arrived and now was the time for both the current and future students to interact with each other.

More From Seventeen

I declare that Ujamaa was the place to be Admit Weekend. The first night we played games, including one called "All My Homies" that is a spin off of musical chairs. The next night, we got a chance to party with our admits and play more exciting games afterwards. I have to say that I was impressed with these students. I was worried that many of them would be socially awkward and shy for the duration of the weekend, but boy was I wrong! Not only were these students surprisingly social, but also very attractive (it's okay, I checked to make sure that the guys I thought were cute were at least eighteen!)
